Question

Why urine smells sometimes and sometimes not?

Answer 1

I think that it is very much down to what you have been eating and drinking, some foods are more acidic than othersalthough your general health can also have a bearing on it, if you feel run down and out of sorts,again your body can produce increased amounts of acid with finds its way into your urine.

Answer 2

Answer

Urine odor is related to the volume and concentration of a variety of chemicals excreted by the kidney. Normally, diluted urine doesn't have much odor. If you're dehydrated and your urine becomes highly concentrated, it can have a strong ammonia smell. Many foods and medications — such as asparagus or certain vitamins — also can affect the odor of urine.

Most changes in urine odor are temporary and don't indicate serious illness. But sometimes an unusual urine odor can be associated with an underlying medical condition, such as a urinary tract infection. If you're concerned about the odor of your urine, talk to your doctor.

Urine odor Potential medical causes

Strong ammonia smell Not enough fluids, dehydration

Foul smelling Bacterial infection of the kidneys or bladder

Sweet smelling Uncontrolled diabetes

Musty smelling Liver disease; phenylketonuria, a rare, inherited metabolic condition

Maple syrup smell Maple sugar urine disease, a rare, inherited metabolic disorder

Usually the first pee of the day is stronger than the rest.  That's because of your body working all night to get rid of toxins and such.  I personally find that after a beer binge...I can put off the first trip to the bathroom for awhile, but after I go the first time... Then Im peeing 2 cans for every one I drink...and it's usually quite clear with an indistinct odor.  Almost like water.  I figure this is a good thing every once in awhile to flush out the kidneys...lol
